Can the Utah Utes Outmaneuver the Colorado Buffaloes at CU Events Center?
As the Utah Utes prepare to face off against the Colorado Buffaloes at CU Events Center on December 30, fans are eager to see if their team can replicate their recent dominant performances. The Utes have been on a roll, showcasing a blend of tactical prowess and athletic excellence that has left opponents scrambling.
In their last game against Weber State Wildcats on December 21, the Utes delivered an astounding victory with a final score of 89-36. Their offensive strategy was nothing short of spectacular, as they managed to maintain a field goal percentage of 52 percent while also sinking an impressive 40 percent from beyond the arc. The team's defensive efforts were equally commendable; they amassed four blocks and nine steals, contributing to Weber State's high turnover count.
The Utes' ability to control both ends of the court was further evidenced by their rebounding statistics – pulling down 47 rebounds compared to Weber State's mere 27. This rebounding advantage allowed them ample second-chance points and limited opportunities for their opponents.
Another notable performance came against Southern Utah Thunderbirds where once again, Utah demonstrated why they're one of the teams to watch this season. Scoring an impressive 96 points while maintaining shooting percentages above 50 percent both from two-point range (67 percent) and three-point range (47 percent), it’s clear that when it comes to offense, Utah means business.
However, not every game has been smooth sailing for Utah; they faced a tough challenge against South Carolina Gamecocks earlier in December. Despite falling short with a final score of 69-78, there were positive takeaways even in defeat. The Utes showed resilience and adaptability throughout each quarter despite facing arguably one of the toughest teams in women’s basketball this season.
Looking ahead at their upcoming encounter with Colorado Buffaloes at Boulder’s CU Events Center – which is sure to be buzzing with anticipation – it seems reasonable based on past performances that Utah could dictate play through sharpshooting and robust defense once more.
The scheduled game time is set for December 30 at 1:00 PM Mountain Time (MT). Fans who cannot make it to Boulder can catch all the action live on Pac-12 Network as these two formidable teams clash in what promises to be another exciting chapter in college basketball this season.
